Wrap Up

Eight pasta dinners down and so ends my experiment with a weekly dinner party for friends. It actually ended up being a bit more work than I expected, but it was thoroughly gratifying. And I think I learned a thing or two.

The last pasta event formed a perfect ending to the dinner series. A good friend (and fine pastry chef) was on a whirlwind trip through town to participate in her brother's wedding. And she graced us with her presence and a tasty, chique peach pie for dessert. The complete menu follows:

Wine: 2001 Chilean Cab.Sauv/Carmenere
Pasta: Fettuccine with basil/sun-dried cream reduction sauce and grilled chicken breast
Salad: Fresh tomato slices with feta, fresh basil, balsamic vinegar and olive oil
Dessert: Peach Pie
Coffee: Latte
